LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Tuesday,
with mining and energy stocks extending losses in the wake of
weak data this week from China, the world's second-biggest
economy.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index, which had
opened flat, lost ground to stand 0.6 percent lower, as did the
euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index.

Miners such as Glencore and BHP Billiton
fell for the second session in a row in the aftermath of data
from China on Monday, which showed growth in the world's leading
consumer of metals was at its slowest since the global financial
crisis.

Major energy stocks such as BP and Total
also fell, with oil prices losing ground on concerns about
oversupply and the health of the global economy.
